The Key

I got some sad news this weekend. A sorority sister from college was killed in a plane crash you might have read about. She was a freshman when I was a junior and was part of pledge class I dearly loved. I haven't seen her in years but I've kept track of her through mutual friends. She leaves behind a two year old daughter and a mom who also lost her ex-husband in the accident.

Although this isn't a close loss, I've spent all day thinking about all the people I love and how much more important they are then anything else in my life right now. I want to be kinder, more loving, less self-absorbed. Just better I guess. This song sorta sums it up

I'm praying for Cecilee's family tonight. She will be missed.

What a loss! I wondered if we would know one of the ten lost. What a sweet and kind woman Cecilee was! Even if we don't see those we care about for years, our heart remembers the love and laughter we shared with those people who come in and out of our lives. Love ya K8!

yeah, 10 folks from Cedar it's pretty likely we'd have a connection to one of them. I'm sure SUU is a sad place to be this week.

I fixed the link. It's "love is the key" by Tuck and Patti. Pretty pretty song.

hugs.
